Right now, I don’t have a PC. Long ago, when I did have one, the first AAA game I ever played was Red Dead Redemption 2. I have played other games, but I feel like RDR2 surpasses all of them and is legitimately one of the greatest games ever made. The amount of details dedicated to realism, the solid storyline, the amazing graphics, NPCs getting angry/creeped out when you follow them for too long, and the hilarious antagonistic insults. I can just go on and on about this game. This is undoubtedly Rockstar’s best achievement yet, and I can’t wait to see how they top it with GTA 6 releasing next year.

    Great video. While I respect the crazy amount of work that went into RDR2, I found the story dumb and the gameplay on rail very boring. I’m always surprised when people are raving about it.

      For my criticisms of that game, which mostly match that video, the story isn’t one of them. I’d call it one of the best the medium has to offer.

        Oh really? That “one more heist” story? :) I liked the ending, but the first half didn’t resonate at all.

          A one more heist story where it was clear it was never going to be just one more heist, and the band dissolved itself over a lack of real leadership. As opposed to the trope, where it’s one more heist that goes wrong. I take it back; I do have a critique of the story. Act 4, on the island, was a detour from anything that had anything to do with the main plot. Other than that though, I thought it was fantastic.
